TWO second-half goals from Joe Quigley were enough to send through Steve Cotterill's National League side through to the fifth round of the Isuzu FA Trophy at the Magpies' expense.
Former Chorley striker, Harry Cardwell had the first real chance of note of the afternoon in the tenth minute, a strong shot fired towards the far corner that Urwin did very well to get down low and keep out.
Courtney Senior looked the biggest threat in a black and white shirt throughout the opening half, linking up well with Brandon Powell and Tom Carr nicely before seeing his shot deflect behind for a corner.
Forest Green continued to threaten in the first-half, Cardwell hitting the crossbar with a close-range header before Emmanuel Osadebe had his shot cleared off the line by Powell.
Quigley then hit the post from a Cardwell cross before the break.
Despite early pressure from the Magpies after the restart, Forest Green would eventually hit the front through Quigley, who finished smartly from a Cardwell cross past Urwin on 55 minutes.
Chorley continued to battle in search of a goal back, but, were left with a mountain to climb 12-minutes later; Quigley again, this time slotting the ball home with aplomb from Osadebe's pinpoint pass.
Dubem Eze had Chorley's best chance of the match, his shot from close range somehow blocked by a Rovers' defender.
Shots from Mike Calveley and Momodou Touray followed inside the closing stages, but, ultimately, the Magpies left the New Lawn with a defeat on Saturday afternoon.
